Note: At the last part of the 20th chapter, although Mal has begun to turn evil due to the necklace with Sage who is also affected, the starling will have 10 different personalities rhymed with her name Sage, unlike her normal personality, and the first one she experienced is called Insage (Insane). Sage's second and third rhymed personalities will be featured in this chapter as well, with her tenth personality teased at the end of this chapter.

EPISODE XXI: A Wild Rehearsal

It was evening. Evie, Libby, and the other ten starlings ran across the Tourney field as they saw Sage, Mal and Freddie's limo arrive near the field again, still in the 2.35:1 ratio.

"Mal. Sage.", said Evie and Libby, the starlings worried, as Sage and Mal left the limo. "You two okay?"

Sage and Mal answer, "Of all the words we can think of, Okay, is not even in the top 10."

"'Cause you didn't find Mal's jewel, girls?", asked Evie and Libby.

Sage and Mal sigh, "No.", the former saying, "I'm upset.", unknowingly revealing that the affected starling's second personality is named Upsage (Upset).

"You girls wanna talk about it?", sures Evie, Libby and the ten other starlings.

The two sigh again, "I'll just see you at rehearsal later tonight.", the starling upset still.

"We'll just give you two some space then. We'll be right here for a bit. Giving you some space.", said Evie, Libby and the starlings, looking sad too.

Freddie also comes out the limo, saying, "What happened?"

"We don't know, Sage may be upset or something along with Mal. We'll do rehearsal later tonight.", said Libby, Leona, Scarlet and Vega, with Evie and the other seven starlings nodding, before the eleven Star Darlings, Evie and Freddie then leave.

However, the same mysterious and evil person is seen behind the bleachers, who must've snuck in to Auradon, as another camera shot shows him walking away in the dark night, as his boots left footsteps that were wet, a sinister theme being played...


Later that night as the ratio turns back into the 1.78:1 and 1.44:1 IMAX ratios in this sequence, the twelve Star Darlings, and the Auradon girls were doing practice, before Audrey comes over and told the girls, "Okay, okay, everyone listen up. I've worked really hard on the song and dance for the Jewel-Bilee. So I really need everyone to step up and give a 100%. Or else."

"Or else what?", asked Piper, Clover and Jordan, the former two curious and the latter sarcastic.

Ally adds, "Or, OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!", impersonating one of the Queen of Hearts' quotes, which startles Piper, Clover, Jordan, Freddie, Scarlet, Vega, Cassie, Gemma, Lonnie, Astra, Adora and Tessa. The daughter of Alice laughs a bit before pausing, looking at the startled girls, causing her to be awkward. "Too much?"

"Yes, great impersonation on the Queen of Hearts, but you may need to lower the tone a bit.", criticizes nicely by Cassie.

Audrey continued, "I just want you girls to watch me and follow my lead.", placing her phone on the phone-compatible music player.

"Why shouldn't we be any different?", sarcastically said Mal and upsettingly said Sage, which causes Leona and Jane to giggle a bit, before covering their mouths.

The daughter of Sleeping Beauty then starts as the song starts too, "And, 2, 3, 4! Woo!", as she, Ally, Cassie and Gemma start to dance along with the song for their practice.

Unfortunately, as Sage and Mal turn away, both their eyes glow green for the second time, turning them evil once again as the starling has her third personality, known as Dage (Dance). She and Mal then look at the latter's book, as the VK conjures a spell with the strange help of Sage's manipulative positive wish energy on Audrey's body, which suddenly causes the AK to have her moves with a mind of it's own.

"That's different.", said Ally, Cassie, Astra and Gemma, looking at this strange happening with Audrey's dance moves.

Audrey, trying to stop her uncontrollable dancing, said, "Stop it, leg!", as she struggled.

"Okay, that's a weird move.", Evie and Libby said.

Jane and Leona ask with Adora and Tessa, "Oh, like this?", as the four do the same dance move with the two smiling for an example.

"No! I'm not doing this...!", the daughter of Sleeping Beauty said to the girls.

Jordan, Piper and Scarlet correct whilst the other girls but Sage and Mal in the meantime were shocked, "Not doing it well, maybe.", before Audrey accidentally slaps Freddie and Vega as she tries to stop dancing, and then accidentally steps on Jordan and Piper's feet. The daughter of the Genie said, "Hey! Watch the genie pants!", while Piper groans, "My foot!"

"I'm out of control!", Audrey worries as she moves backwards uncontrollably.

Adora, Tessa, Jane and Leona come over, asking, "Is this still part of the routine?", when all of a sudden, Audrey moves the other way backwards, pushing Ally, Cassie, Gemma, Lonnie, Clover, then Jane and Leona with Adora and Tessa getting out of the way, into her path accidentally, before backing up and falling on the floor. The eight girls groaned in a bit of pain while Evie, Libby, Scarlet, Vega, Freddie, Adora, Tessa, Jordan and Piper were shocked and Sage and Mal, unfortunately, weren't. "We're okay.", the yellow starling thumbed up to make sure.

"Well, it started kinda slow, but I love the big finish.", said Sage and Mal.

Audrey suspects, "Somebody magicked me!", getting up from the floor. "Sage? Mal?", she said, a bit angry at the two main heroines, Sage, affected and in her third personality Dage, shrugged.

"Audrey, why would Sage and Mal do that to you?", Evie, Libby and the other ten starlings asked Audrey.

The daughter of Sleeping Beauty berates a bit respectfully, "'Cause they're jealous because that they both doesn't get to be a part of all this."

"Jealous? I think you're wrong, Audrey. I believe Sage and Mal may have done nothing wrong over the times we came here.", Scarlet objects, with Vega embracing her.

Ally, getting Lonnie's foot out of her mouth, says with Cassie, Astra and Gemma, "Mal's not like that anymore. And Sage has already been doing fine lately."

"If she's still evil and if Sage is doing bad, then I'm so plain.", Jane supports, with most of the other girls agreeing.

Leona, Adora and Tessa adds, "We told you before, Sage and Mal did nothing terrible here. It's just an accident.", the others smiling.

"Um...", smiled Audrey, changing her attitude and answering the girls.

Libby, the starlings and Evie bring Sage and Mal to privacy, as Libby and Evie told the two, "Okay, Sage and Mal. Thought that was funny, but you two do not wanna get between Audrey and her big show.", as the twelve confidences to Sage and Mal, "As your BFFs, I have to advise you two to chill.", Libby saying, "Get some rest, and be better the next day."

"You're right, Evie and girls. That would be the nice thing to do.", Sage and Mal answer back to the smiling and heartwarming Evie, Libby, Scarlet, Vega, Leona and the other seven starlings.

And lastly, when Sage and Mal both turn to the other direction, both their eyes, for the third time, glows green as the starling, having her unknown (which will be revealed in three chapters) 10th personality, heavily breaths in and out, full of anger as Sage opens her glowing green eyes again, as the two then left the room to go back to their dorm for the night.


At the last part of the night later, Jane and Audrey arrive at their dorm room, the latter saying to her friend, "Okay, I admit the song got off to a rocky start, but with my eternal vigilant slash amazing directing...", as Jane stops in her tracks as she sees something strange, as the AK continued, "...I think it could look really-", before she gasps, extremely shocked by what she saw with Jane too. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

She screams this as we then see a giant spray-painted part of the dorm room with graffiti paint with Maleficent's silhouette, saying,

Long Live Evil!

But to make it more horrifying and evil, we also see a blood-red painted hand-written message on top of part of the Long Live Evil graffiti spray paint that scarily says,

THE RAGE IS COMING
